Examination of the grieving processes of suicide survivors

This research project serves to provide a foundation for understanding the pertinent issues of survivors of loved ones who have committed suicide.

This study examined the literature, as well as the experiences of individuals who had loved ones commit suicide, through three in-depth interviews.

Our research results support the notion that counselors must attend to these nuances in their treatment planning and subsequent interventions.

Limitations of this study include a small sample size and additional research on this topic is needed to provide further clarification.

The value of this research is to provide clarification of the experiences of suicide survivors and give recommendations to counselors.
